Install a traffic-calming planter box.

This corridor's bare curb bump-outs collect trash and give ranch trucks no visual cue to slow down where pedestrians cross; a filled, anchored planter box narrows the sightline and softens the corner with green.

Pay

$340 proposed

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

811 locate confirm + before/after photos + anchor/placement clearance check + plant list + GPS

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Bring

• gloves + eye protection
• drill/driver + bits
• saw
• untreated or naturally durable lumber
• landscape fabric (optional)
• soil + compost
• level + tape measure
• camera + phone with GPS

Steps

1. 1. Photograph the site BEFORE, with GPS and timestamp.
2. 2. Call 811 (or local locate) before any ground disturbance.
3. 3. Confirm siting: at least 3m from a septic field, not over a utility easement, and with the required sun exposure.
4. 4. Level the ground; a bed built out of level drains to one corner and fails unevenly.
5. 5. Build the frame from untreated or naturally durable lumber, never CCA-treated or railway sleepers for food crops.
6. 6. Line the base only if blocking a known contaminant; otherwise leave open for drainage and worms.
7. 7. Fill with a soil-to-compost blend, watering in layers so it settles without later collapse.
8. 8. Photograph AFTER from the same position and record dimensions and fill volume.

What counts as done

• Before photo of the bare curb bump-out
• 811 locate reference before any anchor drilling
• After photo of the installed, level, securely anchored planter box, filled and planted
• Clearance measurement confirming the required pedestrian through-path and sightline remain open

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Living Building Challenge, Place Petal. The Place Petal asks a building to belong to its ground: grow food where it stands, shelter the small wild lives that were there first, and join the neighborhood instead of paving over it. Mastery looks like a lot where vegetable beds share the sun with native shrubs, feeding people and birds from the same soil. Nobody arrives at that whole in one season. You arrive by planting one bed, tending one strip of ground, learning one street's habits of light and water. This packet is one of those honest first plantings.
